Sonographic findings of acute hepatitis in the emergency department.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a common cause of upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and abnormal liver function tests. In 2018, there was an outbreak of hepatitis A cases in southwestern Ohio, one of many across the United States in recent years. Viral hepatitis can demonstrate impressive gallbladder wall edema and thickening on ultrasound imaging. We describe a case series where marked gallbladder wall thickening was noted on point-of-care ultrasound and either led to the correct diagnosis or prompted some diagnostic uncertainty. In an undifferentiated patient, this may confuse the clinical picture because most emergency physicians may not be aware of this finding.
